AN: I don't know if this is any good. I wrote it on my notes app and it took forever. It's basically the movie Tangled from Eugene Fitzherbert's point of view. I hope it's not too terrible. Enjoy reading.

Rapunzel and Eugene were visiting an orphanage in the kingdom, not long after their wedding. The children were always excited because they told the best stories together. "Tell us how you met!" they would ask.

"You want to hear the story of how we met? Well that's quite a long and interesting story, but, I don't know..." Eugene said, shaking his head.

"'Eugene" Rapunzel scolded him, the corners of her lips twitching, obviously trying to hold back a smile.

"Alright, alright. I was kidding! Of course I'll tell it. It's one of my favorites! So, I'll start with my normal opening for this particular story."

"This is the story of how I died."

"THE LOST PRINCESS"

"Oh don't worry this is actually a very fun story and the truth is its not actually mine." Eugene said quickly, noticing the worried looks on the faces of the children.

"This is the story of a girl named Rapunzel. "

"It all started with the sun. Long ago, a small drop of sun fell from the heavens and from this small drop of sunlight grew a magic golden flower. It had the power to heal the sick and injured. And there is an old woman. You might want to remember her; she's kind of important.

Centuries later, a hop, skip and a boat ride away, there grew a kingdom. The kingdom is ruled by a beloved king and queen. The queen was about to have a baby and she got sick; really sick. She was running out of time. That's usually when people start to look for a miracle; or in this case a magic golden flower.

Ah, I told you she'd be important! You see, instead of sharing the suns gift, Mother Gothel, used it to keep herself young and healthy for hundreds of years! And all she had to do was sing a special song. Rapunzel, would you demonstrate?" Eugene asked, looking at her.

Rapunzel nodded, closed her eyes and began to sing.

"Flower, gleam and glow"

"Let your power shine"

"Make the clock reverse"

"Bring back what once was mine"

"Heal what has been hurt"

"Change the fate's design"

"Save what has been lost"

"Bring back what once was mine"

"What once was mine"

Eugene thanked her and winked mischievously at the children. "Except Mother Gothel sounded a lot older and hoarse than Rapunzel's beautiful voice."

"Just continue the story Eugene." Rapunzel said trying to sound stern.

"Okay, okay! Now, where was I? Oh yes! She sings to it, turns young, creepy, right? The soldiers drew near the flower and Mother Gothel fled, revealing the magic flower! They found it!

The magic of the golden flower healed the queen and a healthy baby, a princess was born, with long golden hair. I'll give you a hint. That's Rapunzel."

"To celebrate her birth, the king and queen set off a floating lantern into the sky. For that one moment, everything was perfect. And then that moment ended. Gothel snuck into the tower at night and sang the healing incantation to the sleeping baby. Her long hair glowed in the darkness and as she sang she cut a lock of hair. It immediately turned brown and lost its power. Mother Gothel broke into the castle, stole the baby, and just like that, gone!

The kingdom searched and searched but could not find their princess. For deep within the forest, in a hidden tower, Gothel raised the child as her own. Gothel had found her new golden flower, but was determined to keep it hidden. Rapunzel always wanted to know why she couldn't go outside and Mother Gothel would always reply saying, 'The world is a dangerous place filled with horrible, selfish people. you must stay here where it's safe. Do you understand flower?'

And Rapunzel would reply with, 'Yes mommy.'

But the walls of the tower could not hide everything, for every year on her birthday, the king and queen set off hundreds of lanterns, in hopes that one day, their lost princess, would return.
